Street, Suite 203.)
Planning Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report recommending that the City
Council reaffirm the Planning Commission decision to deny the applicant's request.
Councilmember Birdsall advised that she would abstain from participating on this
matter due to the close proximity of a business owned by she and her husband.
City Attorney Scott Field advised the Council that since a quorum would not exists as
a result of Councilmember Birdsall's abstention, the matter should be continued to a
date when a quorum is present.

Charles T. Bell, 1 1 3E Bay Avenue, Newport Beach, CA, representing the applicant

1 2 Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Temporary SiQns
Planning Director Gary Thornhill introduced the staff report outlining the
recommendations of the Planning Commission.
Mayor Mufioz stated that he would not oppose allowing an addition six month delay
of enforcement but he feels it is time the City begins to gain compliance with the
existing ordinance for the sake of overall aesthetics within the community. He also
indicated he would be willing to allow certain temporary signs to remain in place for
up to 33% of the year.
Minutes\5/25\93 -5- 11/01/95
City Council Minutes MaV 25, 1993
Councilmember Parks stated a concern with eliminating all A-frame signs in areas other
than Old Town Temecula, and indicated he feels that allowing them to be used for at
least 1 6% of the year would be appropriate.
Council discussed the periods of time that should be permitted for attached and
detached temporary signs. Councilmember Birdsall suggested that enforcement be
instituted immediately, but that only a warning be issued within the first 90 days after
adoption of the ordinance.
The City Council, by consensus, deferred further consideration of this matter to a later
point in the agenda to allow staff to make the discussed modifications to the
ordinance.
RECESS
Mayor Mufioz declared a recess at 8:08 PM, the meeting was reconvened immediately
following the Temecula Community Services District and the Temecula Redevelopment
Agency meetings at 8:47 PM.
1 3 Vesting Tentative Tract Mai) 26941, Change of Zone No. 22
(A subdivision consisting of 1 33 acres northerly of DePortola Road, southerly of Pauba
Road and easterly of Butterfield Stage Road.)
Planning Director Gary Thornhill presented the staff report and indicated a correction
to the Conditions of Approval, eliminating condition No. 99 relating to Quimby Fees,
since this has been covered on the underlying map. He also advised that a condition
No. 33 should be added relating to trails to read, "Prior to the issuance of the first
occupancy permit, the equestrian trail along the entire easterly boundary shall be
completed. The trail shall be consistent with that shown in the Tentative Map and the
design guidelines prepared by Planning and Design Solutions".
Councilmember Birdsall clarified that this new condition is to follow condition No. 32,
not replace the condition shown as No. 33 in the staff report.
Mayor Mufioz opened the pubic hearing at 8:58 PM.
John Wayland, 33342 Pauba Road, addressed the Council speaking on behalf of the
Pauba Ranchos Homeowners Association. He addressed access to Cee Cee Road and
stated the applicant will be required to install a road, to city standards and to be
maintained by the City, that will adjoin the country road maintained by the
Homeowners in the area. Mr. Wayland expressed concern that this may lead to
additional liability for the property owners in Pauba Ranchos.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Tim Seriet stated that he believes it is in the best
interests of the homeowners in the area to have standard paved roads installed at the
time of adjacent development. He advised that if the property owners have objections,
Minutes\5/25\93 -6- 11/01/95
City Council Minutes May 25, 1993
the condition can be eliminated since this road is not need to serve ingress or egress
needs of the residents of the new development.
Mr. Wayland also questioned if the equestrian/recreational trails within the proposed
development will be open to the public. Community Services Director Shawn Nelson
responded that the trail along Pauba Road would be an open, public trail and that the
trails within the proposed development will be maintained by the Crowne Hill
Homeowners Association and as such, access to the residents of Pauba Ranchos
would need to be granted, possibly by way of a reciprocal agreement between the two
organizations.
Mr. Wayland then addressed the dedication of Pauba Road and asked who would have
responsibility for maintenance of the Road when it is fully improved. Tim Serlet, Public
Works Director responded that the City will be responsible for maintaining the portion
that is within the City's boundaries (approximately 66%).
Perimeter walls and fencing were also discussed by Mr. Wayland who stated that the
Pauba Ranchos Property Owners Association would prefer to see three-rail wood
fencing on the eastern boundary of the development. Finally he questioned the height
that will be allowed for structures on the lots which lie within 200 feet of the existing
airstrip. Tim Serlet advised that this had been addressed by the Planning Commission
and that an avigation easement is required prior to recordation.
RECESS
Mayor Mufioz declared a one-minute break to change the tape at 9:26 PM
Ernie Egger, 27463 Enterprise Circle West, Temecula, representing the applicant,
Taylor Woodrow Homes, stated that the condition to improve Cee Cee Lane was
placed on the map prior to closing a cul-de-sac and the developer is not opposed to
deleting the condition to improve that road since it will not be possible for Crowne Hill
lots to access it due to existing topography. He also stated that the applicant would
not oppose a change in the condition to provide white rail fencing rather than block
walls on the easterly boundary of the development. With regard to the height
limitation, he stated that a natural 40 foot elevation change creates a buffer at the end
of the landing strip and should not pose a problem since the building heights on the
two adjoining lots will be 32 feet. The applicant requested that Condition 93 be
modified to allow septic systems wherever possible rather than requiring all lots to be
connected to the EMWD sewer system.
Public Works Director Seriet stated, that as a matter of policy, he would recommend
sewer systems be required on all new development within the City. Councilmember
Parks indicated that if the applicant can show good percolation exists on the lots, he
would not be opposed to allowing use of septic systems.
Minutes\5/25\93 -7- 11/01/95
CitV Council Minutes MaV 25, 1993
Planning Director Gary Thornhill clarified that the applicant has referred to a 28-lot
subdivision, when the proposal before the Council is for a 27-lot subdivision, based
upon the Planning Commission's previous action.
Mr. Eggers stated that the applicant has redesigned the project to address the Planning
Commission concerns that the lots on Cee Cee Lane be all five-acre lots to buffer the
smaller residential lots and the Pauba Ranchos property.
It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Parks to
continue the public hearing to the meeting of July 1 3, 1 993 and refer the concerns
regarding septic vs sewer systems and the design as it relates to the additional lot to
staff.
The motion was unanimously carried, with Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and Councilmember
Stone absent.
1 2. Amendment to Ordinance Reciulating Temporary SiQns(Continued)
City Attorney Scott Field requested additional clarification from the Council regarding
changes to be made to the ordinance prior to adoption. He asked if Council wished to
place a maximum number of days that a combination of temporary signs would be
permitted, and how the recommended percentages should be implemented.
Consensus direction was that 1) the period allowed in any given year would not exceed
1 20 days; 2) that the allowed period for attached temporary signs would be 30 days
on and 60 days off and 3) detached signs would be allowed on a not to exceed 30
days, twice a year with at least a 60-day period between permits.
Councilmember Birdsall questioned how the one-year period would be structured and
suggested that to aid in monitoring the temporary permit periods a "sticker" system be
developed for placement on the permitted signs indicating the approved time period.
It was moved by Councilmember Parks, seconded by Councilmember Birdsall to extend the
meeting at 1 0:00 PM for an additional 30 minutes. The motion was unanimously carried, with
Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and Councilmember Stone absent.
1 4Appointment of Planninci Commission Member
City Clerk June Greek presented the staff report, outlining the recommendations from
the Ad Hoc Committee consisting of Councilmember Parks and Councilmember Stone.

1 5 Lease of Microfilm Equipment
City Clerk June Greek presented the staff report recommending the approval of a lease
with Burtronics Company for microfilm reproduction equipment to implementthe City's
Records Management program.
Councilmember Birdsall asked if funds were available for the City to consider an
outright purchase rather than lease of this equipment. Finance Officer Mary Jane
McLarney stated that staff can research this and bring it back for consideration at a
later time.
Mayor Muiioz asked how many cities in the Inland Empire are currently utilizing this
type of equipment. Barbara Bullard, representing Burtronics responded that
approximately 90% of the cities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties are
microfilming documents.
It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Parks to
approve staff recommendation, with the proviso that if it is economically feasible to
purchase this equipment a purchase agreement will be brought back to the Council for
approval. The motion was unanimously carried, with Mayor Pro Tem Roberts and
Councilmember Stone absent.
1 2Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Temporary
City Attorney Scott Field read the changes to the proposed ordinance as follows:
"Section 4, Subsection C-1 In any year attached and detached temporary signage may
not be used in any combination.
